- Comment on Mozilla's new CEO says AI is coming to Firefox, but will remain a choice 1 day ago:
it’s insane how many people say they use it for boilerplate in code. it’s boilerplate! it’s called that because it’s always the same!! make a snippet in your IDE. the language/framework/whatever package for your IDE probably has all the boilerplate snippets you could need already. what the fuck is going on

Voting with your wallet doesn’t work when you are the product. They don’t care about your money when google’s will dwarf any amount individuals could hope to raise, even collectively. Nothing prevents them from just taking both your money and google’s and changing absolutely nothing.

I genuinely tried to find the source for this but all I got from google were ads for vibe coding and proton’s own AI. So take this half-remembered anecdote with a grain of salt, I guess. Best i’ve got is this

Well, hope you like AI shit too because the people at proton are in love with vibe coding. Get ready for your data to be exfilled by a prompt injection in a spam email.
- Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn 2 weeks ago:
my dude nobody is using a stolen identity to go to a bar. they’re taking out lines of credit and you don’t have to always present a physical, photo ID for those because there entire industries of creditors that have no physical location. you don’t even seem to be aware of the reasons why someone would bother stealing someone’s identity so if you’d like to continue this argument I invite you to have it with yourself.
- Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn 2 weeks ago:
this “you’d have to make a fake to use it!!” argument is especially ridiculous when you’ve posted on a story about submitting a picture of your photo ID in place of a physical one. and one of the pieces of info you say actually “matters” is literally written on said ID

Some have cameras on the inside that let you view the contents without opening it. Some have AI that use the cameras to track your food stock. I doubt either of these things justify the amount of resources they consume to accomplish this pointless bullshit.

Lmao they source the photos from LinkedIn profiles. I’m sure that didn’t bias their training at all. Yes sir there’s no chance this thing is selecting for anything but facial features.
- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 2 months ago:
it wasn’t just the keyboard for me. phone browsers pre iphone were just absolute garbage with joke rendering engines. you were lucky to get a functional mobile site, let alone trying to render the desktop version. iphone was using the same rendering engine as desktop safari, which wasn’t perfect but miles better than whatever the hell blackberry or sidekick were using.

- Comment on Zionists media owners speak out 8 months ago:
Hamas’ numbers have, if anything, been extremely conservative. If they’re wrong it’s because they fall short of reality, not because they exaggerate it. Israel themselves used their counts. This bullshit has been disproved a dozen times over but it just will not die.

- Comment on Fucking leeches 9 months ago:
The funny thing is they’re arguing with someone who has been illegally evicted several times. What exactly do they expect poor people to do about it, hire a lawyer and sue? For the chance of what, getting back into a rental run by a now (more) hostile landlord? Get monetary damages? How much? Enough to buy a house? No? Then the problem just repeats.
- Comment on Fucking leeches 9 months ago:
It’s clear you’ve never had to rent a property from a shitty landlord before or you’d know they would just evict you, condemn the property and sell the land to recoup their “investment” rather than pay $3000 of their hard earned money fixing the damage some ungrateful shit did to THEIR property. You keep coming up with convoluted hypotheticals that assume the landlord will always act in the best faith to justify a practice that fundamentally should not exist. One or two “good” landlords don’t redeem all of them.
- Comment on Fucking leeches 9 months ago:
Did the landlord have to risk losing his own home when the person who owns it decides they are done being a decent human and kicks them out for a higher paying tenant, or sells the property to another landlord who will do the same? Do they have to beg someone to come fix their shit in a timely manner or do they just call a repair man who doesn’t charge them $250/mo for the privilege of paying off someone else’s mortgage so they can call the repair man for you?
- Comment on Fucking leeches 9 months ago:
Using my “friends” to, pay off a personal debt while making $250/mo in profit off the,. See, it’s possible to be a good landlord, everyone!
Did you share any of what you made from the sale with your “friends” who helped you pay for it and kept it in good condition for you?

- Comment on Huge win for Internet freedom: Google must sell its Chrome browser 1 year ago:
Sure but does that outweigh the costs that google was eating while using the browser as a loss leader for search and ads? I doubt they’re going to keep hosting and distributing updates from their CDN for free.

why would anyone buy it when it’s primary profit-generating activity is driving traffic to google
- Comment on PlayStation product manager says ads being shown was just a bug 1 year ago:
Yeah it is possible he’s accurately, but misleadingly, calling it a bug because it was not meant to be deployed to production (yet). I do not think that’s how he wants or expects people to take it when he calls it a “bug”, though.
- Comment on PlayStation product manager says ads being shown was just a bug 1 year ago:
you don’t get entire functional UI elements accurately populated with appropriate data out of a “bug”
